- Well HOPEFULLY it is not purely an attempt to get a LINUX-smell-alike
- without having to buy a 486?

- All I'm trying to say here is that MiNT should be something for the Atari,
- and something which can be recognized as such. So your interpretation of
- 'making the best out of MiNT' is to make Atari computers behave as similar
- to UNIX boxes as possible? That's like going from Amsterdam to Paris
- by the Orient Express if you ask me. Try Atari System V :-)
